1 Max.Active Supports NEW with Xtra-Dry micro fibres

2 Max.Active Supports Motion is an elementary requirement for health and physical wellbeing. The Max Active Supports by Streifeneder ortho production GmbH help to recover limited motion abilities caused by diseases or injuries, respectively to maintain existing mobility. The locomotor system finds relief, joints are guided, stabilised or if necessary, immobilised and fixed. The supports help to treat and prevent overstress and misloads by correcting malpositions into a physiologic correct position. The knitted parts of the supports play an important role. The compressive effect benefits the blood circulation, which causes at the same time reduction of oedemata and therefore much faster pain relief. Last but not least, the proprioreceptive effect of the supports prevents new injuries, which makes them a very good device for prophylactic application. 2

3 Xtra-Dry Innovation: The breathable, innovative functional fibre Xtra-Dry increases the wearing comfort of our Max Active Supports considerably. Functional technology: Xtra-Dry is a functional fibre providing better moisture release from the skin surface to the outside by means of increased fibre surface. Caused by the capillary effect of the functional fibre, the body moisture is transported faster to the orthosis surface; where it can evaporate. This cases the orthosis with functional fibre to dry considerably faster than orthoses made of standard materials. Xtra-Dry is especially effective during motion / sportive activities, which causes development of moisture on the skin surface. With Xtra-Dry, the skin surface does not feel clammy and cold, and your body stays comfortably warm and dry. Further benefits of our Max Active Supports made of functional fibre Xtra-Dry are the super soft touch and the brilliant look. Direct comparison in Fibres profile:

4 How do supports work? As the name Max Active Supports already suggests, at the beginning is motion. Motion causes friction, which benefits the blood circulation; resulting into strengthening of muscles. Whereas, strong muscles are better able to stabilise joints and therefore hold them better in anatomic correct position. As a result, overstress and misloads are avoided and pain is relieved.the positive effect of supports has been again enhanced by the improved knitting technique. The increased rubber portion leads to a stronger compression, whereas the softer functional knit helps to prevent pressure points in the area of flexion. 4

5 The Max Active Supports cover a wide range of indications. Fields of application: traumas capsule injuries pulled and torn ligaments torn muscle fibres contusions post-surgical care rheumatism, arthroses overstress or misloads rehabilitation In order to keep the wearing comfort even during long-term application of our Max Active Supports, special focus has been put on high quality material as well as workmanship. 5

7 Foot/Ankle Joint The feet are the basis of the human body. They are the mostly used body parts and have to carry the complete body weight when walking upright. They bear all strains during walking, running and jumping. Alone the achilles tendon of the foot, is able to withstand a weight of approx. 1 ton. Despite its extreme stability, the foot is a filigree masterpiece of nature. It consists of 26 bones, 27 joints, 32 muscles and tendons, 107 ligaments and nerve endings. 7

15 Knee Joint The knee joint is the most strained joint of our body. With every step, it must absorb approximately three times the amount of our own body weight. Even during light activity, this figure increases remarkably. Considering that each human being walks approximately fivethousand steps per day, in the course of a lifetime this adds up to a distance of approximately three times around the world. Or, relating to the absorbed weight, several millions of tons. This explains why the kee joint is subject to an increased wearout and furthermore, irritations, overstraining and injuries are very common. In Germany, annually approximately meniscus surgeries as well as approximately cruciate ligament surgeries are performed annually. In x-rays, already every second German citizen older than 35 years shows provable signs of arthrosis. 15

25 Back/Spine Nearly every one of us knows the subject back pain and has been affected by it at least once before. The trouble with the back can have plenty of causes. With the diagnosis of the orthopaedist, centre and extent of the pain are localised, and a therapy with medication, physiotherapy or orthpaedic aids will be initiated accordingly, or even be treated surgically. Like in nearly every therapy, major focus is put on immobilisation, erection and/or targeted motion by therapeutic exercise. Also, a change in lifestyle of the person affected (e. g. weight reduction, physiotherapy = PT) can contribute to gain positive control over back pain. 25

29 Arm/Elbow The arm resp. the free upper extremity is divided into upper arm (brachium), forearm (antebrachium) and hand (manus). The arm is the human body part with the greatest mobility of all, which is based on the construction of the shoulder joint. The upper arm bone (humerus) is the longest bone of the arm. Its rounded head (caput humeri) is located proximally and is part of the shoulder joint. Distally at the upper arm bone, two large upper arm condyles (epicondylus medialis et lateralis) are adjoined which are positioned laterally of the elbow joint. The upper arm muscles can be divided into the bending (flexors) and extending (extensors) muscles. The most important upper arm muscles are positioned in the front, in order to bend the forearm (musculus biceps brachii et musculus brachialis). The muscles to extend the forearm (musculus triceps brachii) are located at the backside of the upper arm. The forearm merges between elbow joint (articulatio cubiti) and wrist (carpus) and consists of two bones: the spoke bone (radius) and the ulna bone (ulna). The forearm muscles can be also divided into two groups - the bending (flexors) and extending (extensors) muscles. The muscles mostly merging from the forearm move the hand as effector. 29

35 Hand/Wrist The hand is man s most complex body part and serves as working instrument as well as communication- and expression medium. The perfect interaction of skin, muscles, nerves, tendons and bones makes the hand an incomparable tool. For many years, man is trying without success, to copy it in its perfection. Infants start to learn with their hands by grasping and thus understanding things; with our hands we stay in touch with our surroundings: we stroke, feel, do; and with them, we literally can lend a hand. The wrist is the connection link between forearm and hand. Anatomically, the wrist is shaped like an egg and allows the hand to bend (palmar flexion), to extend (dorsal extension) as well as spreading movements (radial- and ulnar-abduction). Only due to this combination of wrist and hand, the various, partially very complex motion patterns are possible. 35
